Remember that many employers accept applications from graduates with any degree subject, so don't restrict your thinking to the jobs listed here.

Work experience

If you're keen to use your mathematical skills in your chosen career, a relevant industrial year out, a final-year project, or a dissertation will be helpful. You could also find out if there is an opportunity to work with academic staff on a research project as part of a summer internship.

Placements are available on some mathematics degree courses in areas such as:

• the Civil Service
• financial services

Whatever role you apply for, having previous work experience will help your application stand out. Think about career areas you may be interested in and try to match up some relevant experience.

For example, if you want to train as a teacher once you've completed your degree, try to get some classroom experience or work within a play scheme or sports club. You can also look for opportunities within banks, IT teams or engineering companies.

You can also look at getting student membership with the Institute of Mathematics and it's Applications (IMA) . This gives access to events, careers advice, research updates and the potential to make contacts with future employers.

Search for placements and find out more about work experience and internships .

Typical employers

Mathematicians and statisticians are in demand across a range of sectors and employment opportunities are commonly found in:

• engineering
• finance, banking and accountancy firms
• government - local, central and agencies
• insurance companies
• IT, business consultancy and operational research companies
• market research and marketing companies
• medicine and health - including private pharmaceutical companies and the NHS
• petroleum and nuclear industries
• publicly-funded research institutes
• space science and astronomy.

Find information on employers in accountancy, banking and finance , business, consulting and management , information technology and other job sectors .

Skills for your CV

Studying a maths degree develops skills in:

• designing and conducting observational and experimental studies
• investigating, analysing and interpreting data, finding patterns and drawing conclusions
• information technology
• approaching problems in an analytical and rigorous way, formulating theories and applying them to solve problems
• dealing with abstract concepts
• presenting mathematical arguments and conclusions with accuracy and clarity
• advanced numeracy and analysing large quantities of data
• logical thinking.

These are skills that can be applied in many careers, not just those closely related to mathematics.

The degree also enhances other general skills that all employers expect, including:

• communication skills
• time management
• organisational skills and working methodically and accurately
• decision-making skills
• self-management
• teamwork and the ability to work independently.

Further study

Further study is a popular option for mathematics graduates. Postgraduate study at Masters level, for example, can be useful for some maths-related careers such as operational research, medical statistics in pharmaceutical companies, meteorology and engineering design. A PhD may also be helpful for finding work in these areas and is essential for academic careers.

Most finance-related careers and actuarial work require further study during employment to complete professional exams. You'll typically be expected to study in your own time.

You could study a specific statistics course, such as applied, medical and official statistics.

Postgraduate qualifications are also available to take you into other careers such as teaching, IT or marketing.

For more information on further study and to find a course that interests you, see Masters degrees and search postgraduate courses in mathematics .

Doctoral Positions at Mathematics Münster

Benefit from the stimulating atmosphere at the department and use the invaluable opportunity to learn from faculty and visitors, to collaborate and network.

The Mathematics Münster Graduate School at the University of Münster, Germany,  is seeking to fill up to nine positions for

Doctoral Research Associates Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in (salary level TV-L E 13, 75%)

to commence at the earliest possible date and no later than July 2024. Positions are available in all mathematical fields related to the work being undertaken at the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster:  “Dynamics – Geometry –Structure” .

We are offering the fixed-term part-time positions (75% FTE) for 3 years. Some of the positions are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), for example through the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, and some by the mathematical institutes of the University of Münster. The financial terms of the positions remain consistent regardless of the funding source. The main selection criterion is academic excellence.

Your tasks: This position is tied to working towards a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in any mathematical field related to the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster. Successful candidates may be required to teach up to 4 hours per week during the semester (for full-time positions) depending on the source of funding.

Our expectations:

• A university degree with above average grades in mathematics or a related field that meets the qualifications required for a doctorate is essential.
• Research interests that align with or foster links between the research areas at Mathematics Münster are required.
• Above average mathematical ability, as well as intellectual and analytical strength are expected.
• A high level of motivation and enjoyment in scientific work, ambition and commitment is expected.
• Good English communication skills are necessary but German language skills are not a requirement.
• The ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team is expected.

Advantages for you: The successful candidates will profit from the amenities of the Cluster of Excellence and the Mathematics Münster Graduate School, including funding for conference travel or summer schools and opportunities to co-organise academic events and participate in numerous networking opportunities and events.

Application documents:

• Applications should contain a cover letter, CV, copies of degree certificates (bachelor’s and master’s) and full academic transcripts, as well as evidence of proficiency in English.
• Applicants are invited to include examples of their academic work if appropriate.
• Applicants should also nominate at least two potential local supervisors listed as investigators in a relevant research area at Mathematics Münster.
• Please arrange for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to [email protected] by the referees before 1 November 2023.

The University of Münster strongly supports equal opportunity and diversity. We welcome all applicants regardless of sex, nationality, ethnic or social background, religion or worldview, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We are committed to creating family-friendly working conditions.

We actively encourage applications by women. Women with equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will be preferentially considered unless these are outweighed by reasons which necessitate the selection of another candidate.

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] . Please also consult our answers to Frequently Asked Questions regarding the application process.

Are you interested? Then we look forward to receiving your application by 1 November 2023 via our online application form below (please note that we cannot consider other application formats).

Information on reference letters for referees

If possible, we kindly ask you to consider the following questions/points in your letter:

• Since when and in which capacity have you known the applicant?
• Please assess the applicant’s intellectual and analytic strength, their mathematical knowledge, their technical mathematical skills, their ambition and their independence.
• Please describe the applicant’s attitude towards academic work, their reliability and their ability for team work.
• Comment on the applicant’s proficiency in English.
• Would you accept this applicant as a graduate student at your own institution?

Letters of recommendation should be sent directly to [email protected] before the deadline. You will receive a confirmation of receipt.

The application phase is closed.
